Hole in Soul

    Hole in Soul

            -i-

A hole in the soul

External can't fill

Numbing attempts to be whole

Can't be still

           -ii-

A hole in the soul

Leaking life

Thoughts roll

Internal strife

          -iii-

A hole in the soul

Longing to be free

Heart's desire to be full

Hoping to see

           -iv-

A hole in the soul

What can it mean

Innocence stole

Ache to be clean

            -v-

A hole in the soul

Damage of sin

Absolution's gravitational pull

Toxic poison within

           -vi-

A hole in the soul

A journey to take

A hole in the soul

A life to embrace

          -vii-

A hole in the soul

Redemption

Soul is whole

Soul is whole
